o .c2.HOW TO GET SUPPORT
The user of the CUPL product may need to have some questions
answered or get help with the package in some way. If problems are
encountered, LDI customer support may be contacted. There are
several ways to do this.
By Telephone (305) 974-0967
By FAX (305) 974-8531
Via Customer Support Electronic Bulletin Board Service (BBS)
(305) 974-0612
The BBS requires that a modem be attached to a terminal or a
computer. The BBS can be dialed, and messages may be left for the
customer support staff. Additionally, files may be uploaded for
review at LDI.
Baud: 300, 1200, 2400
Parity: None
Data Bits: 8
Stop Bits: 1

Special Interest Groups (SIGS) are also available. These can be a
great source of information.
If assistance is needed with using CUPL, it is a good idea to
contact your local dealer or distributor first, for their
suggestions as to how to proceed.
o Contacting Customer Support
Before contacting Customer Support, make sure to collect the
following information:
Make sure that you have a semicolon at the end of each statement.
You would be surprised at the number of files we get that contain
only this problem. Examine the header section of the PLD file in
particular since a missing semicolon in this area will often cause
strange results. Check to make sure that all comment blocks are
closed. Many times designers start a comment with /* but forget to
close it with */. What happens is that the compiler continues
reading until it finds an end of comment marker */. Everything read
is considered a comment and is therefore invisible to the compiler.
The CUPL serial number: This enables us to know if there is a known
problem with your version.
The CUPL version number. The device mnemonic that you were using
when you encountered the problem. Fax a copy of the PLD file or
upload the file to the BBS. Uploading the file is better because we
can test it. Make sure to send the entire file. Sometimes, a
problem will seem to be caused by one thing but it is actually
caused by something else.
